Hitler
“Individual states of the American Union . . . could not have possessed any state sovereignty of their own. For it was not these states that formed the Union, on the contrary it was the Union which formed a great part of such so-called states.
Certainly all the states in the world are moving toward a certain unification in their inner organization. And in this Germany will be no exception. Today it is an absurdity to speak of a ‘state sovereignty’ of individual provinces. In particular we cannot grant to any individual state within the nation and the state representing it state sovereignty and sovereignty in point of political power.
National Socialism as a matter of principle, must lay claim to the right to force its principles on the whole German nation without consideration of previous federated state boundaries.”
Wow. Three months later and all you can do is repost a section of Mein Kampf that I've already posted proving that Hitler never mentions Lincoln, much less praises him for consolidiating a central government.
